Why Do You Want to Use PowerPoint?
- Presenting information as you might have done with OHTs in the old days
- Supporting a speech or lecture – bullet points reminding you of what to say
- Displaying images in a big way
- A slide show (literally)
- A simple way to create graphics
- Plan what you want to put on the slides (which will be different to, and much less than, what you want to say!)
- Start, end and middle etc. Find the images you might need and save them somewhere. If you intend to use links to web sites, store them as Favourites or Bookmarks
- Use the defaults. Leave the fonts alone. Type where suggested. Ignore all the designs and groovy backgrounds (at least until the content is finished)
- Use supplied slide layouts. Don’t add your own text areas to a blank slide unless all your doing is a picture show
- Use a Master slide for anything that needs to appear on every slide (like a corporate logo, name, date etc.
